POQUOSON, VIRGINIA Imagine this: The year 1986 forgotten forever in the midst of the ages. No pictures, no words ... nothing. Time has carried away from our minds all our fond memories. Do you get the idea? Now imagine this: An old treasure chest containing the memories of the past; a nook where the yesterday is still alive and breathes. A magic book where the voices, images and moments that already belong to the ages are recorded. A few pages that resurrect the best of these ages. The magic of the press and the dark room have made possible such a miracle. Here we have tried to preserve for you the most significant moments of the year. “La creme de la creme” of our memories! Behind us now are the SATs, the semester exams and the stealing of others’ places in the parking area; we have also left behind us the pep rallies, Homecoming and so many happy moments that we have had here. Poor seniors — we have lost our privileges again and it will be a long time until we wear caps and gowns again! Now only the number ‘86 engraved in our class medals, class seals 2 Introduction and all the nooks of our memory will bring back to our minds one of the best times of our lives. Photographs, senior pictures — and good remembrances are the only things of this golden spring of our life that time will let us keep. We have carefully selected for you the best of the best; we have been working hard because we know how special the © year was for all of us, and because we want you to view these — pages as if you were reading the best part of your own biog- raphy. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, you are going to be the inheritors of this wonderful property, because you deserve the best! We want you to anticipate how great your senior year will be (time runs fast; you don't believe us? You will see!) We hope that your senior year will bring at least as much fun as it has to us, and that it will provide the same fond memories. Here finishes the boring speech and begins the best of the year: Enjoy it, because now it belongs to the ages... and also to you, of course! — Luis M.

Glancing at the clock on your bedside table, you see it’s 6:15. You rise from your warm bed, stretch, and begin your moming routine. After breakfast, you grab your books and head out the door.

What's there to do on a Friday night besides go to the — mall, catch a movie, or stay at home and watch the tube? There isn’t anything to do anymore. What's left? Sometimes we don’t realize how important activities are to most students. Activities give the students something to do be- — sides homework and television. They make school life less — tedious and bring the students together in a more social environment, forming memories to cary with us for the rest of our lives. How many times have you wanted to go to school just because there was some activity afterwards? So many activities take place after school, such as dances, hall decorating, and play rehearsals. Sometimes we forget to appreciate the variety of activities offered to us at school. Enjoy that variety ... es ae ee ewe PRD Play rehearsals were no laughing matter for Chip Tiffany, Angie Douglas, and Greg Dis- cenza. Here they diligently went over their lines for the play “The Mouse that Roared.” Waiting for the 5th hour bell to ring, Brian Zamora stops by a lunch fable to talk with some friends. ACTIVITIES 5 The Stars! The Glamour! Madonna! Grace Jones! Tom Petty! Sly Stal lone! The Mackenzie Brothers! Those adorable Care Bears! These are just some of the famous screen idols and songsters that could be seen in the halls during the first week of October. What brought these Holly- wood stars to such a humble abode? To put if simply, they were never here. They were impostors, participating in the fun and merriment of Homecoming week. Each day of the week was assigned a different cat- Dress-up day inspired seniors Karlin Hedin and Tatiana Abemathy to dis- guise themselves as McKenzie brothers.

The traditional clowns and flashers were present but the halls were really dominated by the Madonnas and Tom Pettys of today. A Care Bear or occasional Smurfette could be seen among the DOP SINGeTS. Tuesday was Pee Wee Herman Day. The school’s most popular preps, jocks, and beauties were turned into geeks and nerds. Tacky clothes, broken glasses, and lunchboxes were in evidence everywhere. Movie Day, on Wednesday, brought some of the real superstars back. Along with the Rambos and Tom Cruises were some of the oldies such as Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland as Dorothy, and Vivien Leigh’s loveably vicious Scarlett O'Hara. Thursday was the tradi- tional mouming day for the opponents, the Gloucester Dukes. The students came to school decked out in black. some ladies and gentlemen even dressed for the “funeral” in their best dark suits and black veils. Friday, Toga Day, was the day that all seniors waited for. While the rest of the classes wore their maroon and gold duds, the seniors draped themselves with sheets of assorted shades and patterns. Top celebra- ties such as the peanuts gang, the Star Wars cast, and the Sesame Street gang really were hanging around ... the bodies of the seniors! The day was filled with laurel wreaths, maroon and gold face paints, and general merriment by alll. On Pee Wee Herman day, Senior Gregg Discenza showed Poquoson what a real nerd should be. Cheers! The senior class streamed through the side doors into the middle of the gym, sig- naling the beginning of the homecoming pep-rally. The screaming, toga-clad upperclassmen paraded around the gym before tak- ing their seats in the stands with the rest of the excited student body. The band played while the Majorettes, Pom Pon squad, and Flag corps performed for the roaring crowd. The members of the foot- ball team presented the cheerleaders with corsages. Kerry Williams was chosen from the senior football players as this year’s Homecoming King. The cheerleaders performed their Hacha Cha Chacha cheer for him. The cheerleaders urged the crowd on as each class vied for the spirit stick. The final decision ended in a victory for the seniors. The pep rally concluded with an uproarious chorus of the alma mater and hope for a victorious game. Senior cheerleader Tara Smith con- gratulates Homecoming King Kerry Williams.

The sirens of the police cars and fire engines announced the arrival of the Homecom- ing Parade. Police Chief Jackie White rode at the head, offering smiles to the anxious onlookers. The marching band fol- lowed, pounding out their well-rehearsed tunes with ex- cited vigor. The cheerlead- ing squads of all three schools were present, their voices adding to the din as they clapped and threw candy to the waiting crowd. The representatives of each class rode by in racy convertible or T-tops, offer- ing waves and warm smiles to their friends and family. The members of the varsity football and J.V. football team, as well as the city youth football teams, rode by in the backs of pick-up trucks, shouting cheers of victory for the upcoming game. The members of the other sports teams also made appearances in the melee of people and vehicles. Many members of the local royalty were present, such as Miss PHS, Christine French, and Miss Sparky, Donna Shackleford. The Senior cheerleader Robbie Insley shows his spirit in the Homecoming Parade. senior class president Burma Nelsen, and illustrious SCA president Brian Bartram, were also a part of the procession. The Homecoming floats were displayed behind trucks packed full of class members who were cheering and tossing streamers and treats to the people on the sides of the road. The parade could still be heard even after it tuned the comer and headed for the Municipal Building, leaving in its wake an air of excitement and many empty candy wrap- pers. ‘Don’t Be Bullied!”’ The Homecoming float competition winner was announced at the football game on Friday night, October 4. The juniors came in first and the sophomores finished second. The athletic building behind Poquoson Middle | School served as head- - quarters for the construction of the 1985 Homecoming floats. The theme of the floats was commercials and the floats were judged on origi- nality, construction, and rela- tion to theme. The freshmen float was based on the Marva Maid commercial. The tithe was “We're Gonna Beat the Dukes, Ya Knowwhatimean, Vern?” The float showed a house with Ernie’s face peer- ing through a window as he talked to Vern. The sophomore float was based on the Bully Bowl Cleanser commercial. Its theme was “Don't be bullied by the Dukes; Bully the Dukes instead.” The float showed a bull in a bathroom flushing the toilet with a Gloucester Duke being flushed down. The junior class chose the Schlitz Maltz Liquor Bull commercial with their title being “No one does it like the Bull.’’ The float showed Poquoson High School with a bull coming through the wall and stepping on a Gloucester football player. The senior float was a take- off on the Roach Motel commercial. The tithe was “The Dukes check in but don’t The freshman float read, “We're gonna beat the Dukes! Ya Know- whatimean, Vern?” The float took second in the competition. The junior float won the competition. The float read, “No one does it like the Bull!” check out.” If had the PHS Motel, complete with horns, and a Gloucester Duke trying to escape the motel. The announcement of the float competition winner started the Homecoming celebration and finally ended the nightmares of chicken wire, paper towels, and maroon and gold paint.

She was also a Homecoming Representative her freshman year. Her escort was Chad Grube, who was also a Homecom- ing escort his sophomore year. Tara sums up her nervousness on Homecoming night by saying, “God! It was awful!” Homecoming 11 Home Court Advantage The Homecoming game was a step in the right direc- tion for the members of the football team . The team played a good first half and were leading at halftime. However, the Islanders fell behind in the second quarter A Gloucester player stopped sopho- more Brad Howard (12) just short of the first down. The pain of senior Scott Brown (45) seemed to have been shared by his teammate Mike Brown (59), when he saw his co-captain trapped under a group of Gloucester players. {42 Homecoming and the game came to a close with Gloucester win- ning 20-12. The team members and their fans celebrated their valiant struggle at the Homecoming Dance on Sat- urday, October 5. The commons was a melee of multi-colored streamers and balloons, which were torn down by the eager students as keepsakes of the night. The disc jockey, Lloyd Brown, dedicated the song “All | Need” to all the members of the Homecoming Court, who led their classmates in the dance. The dance ended as the last song of the night faded away, but the mem- ories will stay with each student forever. Lineman Todd Sperling (88) and John Mayo (78) fought fo hold their ground. Seniors Paula Weis and Brian Bartram were having a good time before they even entered the Homecoming Dance. A Poquoson graduate, Tony Arcovitch, and senior Luis Cuesta took a break for refreshments between dances. On a fourth down play, junior Jay Hicks (22) was stopped short of the first down by a tough Gloucester opponent. = Homecoming 13 lm (Aan GLAS Santa Claus! No more school until next -year!

Pinot Grand Fenwick? “Air raid! Take cover! Air raid! It’s the Americans! Air raid!” “Have they come? Are we under attack?” How much longer are we going to be haunted by that terrible Q-Bomb? For some, it seemed forever and for others it went by all too quick- ly. Those eight weeks before opening night were full of memorization, sweat, speeches, jokes, moral boosters, and walk-throughs. Forgotten lines were remembered, in spite of nervousness, and comic lines made their impact. The cast felt an appreciation for all their hard work as the audiences reacted to the story of the small country of Grand Fenwick that declared war over what better reason ... wine. “Has anybody seen the red telephone? What about the professor’s lab materials?” Even to the last minute, the crew scurried around looking for props. But showtime is showtime and the play couldnt wait. The props for New York City, the Oval Room, the professor’s lab, and the throne room were found and on November 21, 22, and 23, the show went on. Even when a rope fell from the curtain and hung from there for the rest of the play, the show continued. Luckily, the end of the play was near and the rope only disturbed Appalled at the thought of General Snippet’s kidnapping, Earl Woodruff stared in disbelief at the General's hat. Hoping for a victorious war against the United States, Charles Woodruff kissed Gloriana’s scarf for good luck. some of the cast. As the curtain went down on the last scene of the last evening, the cast and crew of The Mouse That Roared knew they would have memories that would last a lifetime. They would never forget that terrible Q-Bomb that almost caused World War Ill, or that brand of wine — was it Pinot Grand Fenwick or was it Pinot Grand Enwick? Fall Play 19 The first step in donating blood is to register with the nurse. Junior Kelly Travis patiently answered the nurse’s questions, Some students donate blood be- cause they get free food. Senior Sh hak Douglas enjoyed the cookies and Coke, but did her part in reaching the goal for donators set by the Red Cross. Sophomore English teacher Mr. Mark VanDervort calmly watched as an attendant took his blood pressure. 20 Blood Drive “1 Can't Give Because... “| have cancer and the doctors tell me | only have three days to live.” “I’ve had hepatitis six times.” “| just discovered last hour that I’m a diabetic.” “I’m allergic to needles.” “| gave last week.” “I’m a pint low myself.” These are just some of the silly excuses that people think of as plausible reasons not to give blood. Although every student would like to give blood, many are unable to donate for some reason or another. Since they do not want their friends who are donating blood to think they are cowards, they think up in- sane excuses such as these to tell their friends why they are unable to donate blood. These excuses were out in full force on Monday, March 10, the day of the Blood Drive. Every student was effected by the excitement. Those who were donating eagerly questioned earlier donors to find out “how it wuz.” Those who couldn‘t donate wanted the gruesome details of what they had missed. The students who were too young to participate in the drive wanted to know the names of everyone who did. In certain ways, the Blood Drive showed everyone who “were the mice, and who were the men.” Big, burly football players who had received severe injuries dur- A stuffed rabbit became senior Kelly Gibson’s best friend while the Red Cross volunteer took her blood pressure.

Indeed, some people were more afraid of giving a small sample from their forefinger than giving blood from their arm. Still others became faint at the sight of blood. Yet, despite their fears, they all donated showing that they really were ww ua men. After giving a pint of blood, senior Keith Bocklet appeared faint. Blood Drive 21 l€s Never Too Late... “Merry Christmas Charles, Merry Christmas Anje, Merry Christmas Chi p ... Merry Christmas everyone!” The bandroom of the Middle School seemed to be living a second Christmas day on that March 20, while the actors waited for the opening of the curtains. On this date the Thespians and the Thespian apprentices brought to the stage a spoof on the 1920's in Europe, called “The Boyfriend.” The minutes passed slowly Playing his role as Lord Brockhurst, Keith Bocklet tried to convince his wife — in this case Kathy Apelt — that he was not misbehaving in his walk along the beach. 22 Spring Play in the minds of all the members of the cast. The D- day had come, and the hour was closer and closer all the time. The excitement of the try-outs was nothing com- pared to what was about to come.

The play was a success, From the main characters, to the last member of the crew, everybody worked together in the production of “The 1 hi Boyfriend.” Like every year, some tears began to appear in the eyes of the cast and crew members after the curtains closed for the last time. The result of so many hours of effort was comforting, but it had taken so much prepara- tion to amuse One audience just for an hour and a half. It’s too bad that the play was only on stage for those nights! ‘esi ; x ; 5 ee | oer nf 7. oe ay Dressed as Pierrette, Holly Beavers seemed to be happily surprised when Chip Tiffany removed his mask from his face and revealed to her his real personality. Playing her role as Polly, the daughter of an English millionaire who had no time for his family, Holly Beavers chatted with her friends in the French school where she was studying. The French maid, Debbi Katz, answered the phone at Madame DuBonnet’s “school for perfect young ladies.” Spring Play 23 Foreign Break? Where were you during spring break? At the beach? Or skiing in Colorado? Or participating in a wedding? Or just sleeping your life away? While you were at home doing all the things you had planned to do since Christmas break, some of your Classmates were taking aonce-in-a-lifetime opportu- nity to spend their Easter break in a foreign country — England. On March 28, 25 rambunc- tious students and their three brave chaperones headed towards Norfolk In- temational Ainoort to catch their plane to Boston and begin their England adven- ture. After connecting in Boston with their 747 flight, that neither crashed, nor was hijacked, nor lost its pilot, the group landed safely at their destination. Here the adven- ture began. After they met the other students involved in the tour the group began to explore the many historical sights that were offered. The scheduled tour included many of the traditional places such as Big Ben, Parliament, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. The group also visited the Canterbury Cathedral and viewed the blood-stained stone which bore witness to the murder of Thomas a Becket by King Henry ll. Going back to the time of the Romans, the students toured the Roman baths and puzzled over the meaning behind the crea- tion of Stonehenge. The students returned home after more than a week of touring the beautiful sights of England, arriving at Norfolk Intemational Airport with a severe case of jet lag, souvenirs, rolls upon rolls of film, and memories to last a lifetime. 24 England Trip While waiting for the others to arrive, Pam Craig, Kelly Travis, Barbara Moore, Anne Forrest, and Kevin Forrest relaxed at the Gatwick Airport. At a medieval banquet called The Banquet of The Beefeaters, Mrs. te Fay kept a close eye on the ids. One of the Queen’s guards enter- tained senior Beth Ragsdale during the London trip.

Dis- gusted, you throw the material and needle on the table and head for the bathroom in search of a Curad. You open the medicine chest and encounter an empty box of Band-aids. Cursing, you run cold water over your finger to stop the bleeding. After a few minutes, you cut off the faucet and stare at the angry wound. You dry your hands and head into the living room to finish sewing, realizing that you couldn‘t possibly prick your finger again. You had already pricked all ten of 26 Sadie Hawkin’s Day them! After tying off the last stitch, you let out a sigh of relief. Stretching, you idly wonder if even Don Johnson was worth all this.

It’s a mock wedding.” The parents of Betsy Bell, Shawn Rollins, Melissa Frost, and Tarek Stone are probab- ly still experiencing the shock of their children’s “wedding.” The weddings, a tradi- tional part of the Family Liv- ing criteria, took place on May 9. The students are responsible for handling and financing this mock event with their mock budget. Melissa Frost and Tarek Stone were married by the mock Reverend Roger Tomlinson and the mock weddin Shawn Rollins. “With this earring, | thee wed,” summed up the not-so-traditional of seniors Betsy Bell and Reverend Mo Odenwelder tied the knot for Betsy Bell and Shawn Rollins.

Somebody had to prove that not all the girls around here are as pretty as they say, and that was a task that only men could do. Since the DECA found it too difficult and risky to select a girl that would be proud to hold the title of “Ugliest and most womanless,” they decided to give the guys a try for the title.

It was a difficult decision for Rogette Tomlinson, Bard Gemmill, and Tina Smith who judged the Poquoson Pretties “Womanless” pageant. 28 Poquoson Pretties April 30, was one to remember. The forum was crowded, and people waited in line to get in, anxious to witness such a cultural event. Some desperate seniors came in with the hope of finding their ideal Prom date among the participants! Others were moved by the curiosity of seeing the big “macho” football players dressed as girls and moving their hips on stage. The audience welcomed all the Poquoson Preities with noisy applause, as they walked towards the stage, smiling with those red- hot tangee lips. “Freedom” was heard throughout the PHS forum as Miss Ewa-ewa- Manuah-Sewah-Lamuah-Duwah- Duwah, Clay Marcum, sang it out in his, or her, winning talent perfor- mance. Some of them would make beautiful “mamas!” There is not a doubt in our minds that some of those guys would be a lot more successful at Tabb dances if they dressed as girls. Some others, however, with their moustaches and chest hair, did not look that “marvelous.” “Gosh, it makes me sick,” said one of the girls in the audience, after the pageant. “Some of the guys look better with the make-up on than | do!” Although the talents looked very much the same, the audience did not spare applause or laughter. The judges, Misters Tim Smith, Bob Gemmill, and Roger Tomlinson had to make the tough decision. The $50.00 for first place went to Miss Ewa-ewa-Manuah- Sewah-Lamuah-Duwah- Duwah, portrayed by junior Clay Marcum, who is probably in the Bahamas. Second place was taken by Teasin’ Tina, better known as senior Jeep Wedding, and third place was received by Luscious Luise, who is also known as senior Luis Cuesta. Now it is time for the girls to show their male qualities. Miss PHS: A Little More The sweat began to pour down the faces of the con- testants as the announcer approached the podium. Plastered smiles were rz diligently kept in place as the girls stood nervously on the stage, knees knocking and eyes blinded by the bright stage lights. As the announcer cleared his throat to speak, each girl sent up a silent prayer. Friendship was put aside as each girl anxiously wished for another’s name to be announced. After all the practice and rehearsals, who wanted to settle for first or second runner-up when they could be Miss PHS? Junior Brigette Vernon's jazz dance to the song “When the Going Gets Tough” helped her earn second runner-up. As she accepted her award, the other girls looked around at each other nervously with a mixture of ex- citement and uneasiness- excitement due to the fact that they still had a chance to be Miss PHS and uneasiness because, while they might have a shot at the crown, they might end up with noth- ing at all. First runner-up went to Talent, beauty and poise are evident in the new Miss PHS, Laura Little. senior Sandra Wheless, partly for her lip-synch of the song “Beauty School Dropout.” The mixture of feelings con- tinued to chum as the girls realized that only one place remained, that of Miss PHS. Each girl held her breath as the winner’s name was announced. Miss PHS was Laura Stone Little. Laura won the talent competition for singing two songs from the musical My Fair Lady — “Wouldn'‘t It Be Lovely?” and “| Could Have Danced All Night.” There were a few tears in everyone’s eyes as Laura received her crown, a trophy, and a dozen red roses. The evening came to a close as freshman Jennifer Forrest was named Miss Con- geniality and sophomore Marcie Saulman was voted Miss Photogenic. The five winners in the Miss PHS pageant stand proudly together after the pageant.

Mrs. Marie Dryden presented this award to David Emrick. 30 Awards Assembly straight lines to the assembly. Smiles, hand squeezing, and a few tears were exchanged between friends as they shared the excitement of being seniors. The graduating class filed into the chairs set up in the center of the gymnasium as the underclassmen and faculty silently stood at atten- tion. The upperclassmen took their seats, prompting the rest of the classes to follow. As the final underclassman took his place on the bleachers, the assembly began. From those who stayed up late at night studying to those who woke up early every moming to arrive at school on time, the awards were given to a vast range of person- alities. The academic students received scholastic achievement awards while the sportsters eamed athletic awards. Those students who were neither scholastic nor athletic had a chance to win a perfect attendance award. Three hours passed slowly in the hot, stuffy gymnasium as students clapped and cheered for their peers who had received awards. The ceremony came fo a close as the school wished the members of the Tidewater Challenge team good luck in their match that affemoon. In honor of his success in athletics while maintaining high academic grades, Sergeant Henderson presented senior Mike Musiol with the Army Reserve Scholarship Athletic award. Proudly smiling, junior Brian Jewett received his award for the Daughters of the American Revolution from Mrs. Amonette Phillips. It must run in the family! Cousins Nancy and Stella Thompson were both recipients of the Presidential Academic Fitness award presented by principal Olen Evans.

Your date joins you and the two of you decide to take a stroll on the balcony. Passing the other couples jamming to the latest tunes, you step out onto the moonlit rooftop. After a few minutes in the cool night air, you join the other gyrating bodies on the dance floor. Those attending the Prom were elegantly surprised by this “Hollywood Premiere.” The antique elevator of the Chamberlin Hotel delivered its passengers into a blue and silver dream, complete with metallic palm trees. Candlelit tables provided the couples with a resting place after a work-out on the dance floor. The buffet was temptingly arranged with fruits, biscuits, and other delectable morsels. Those students who wished for a little privacy could enjoy the view from the rooftop balco- ny. Those wishing to capture the night on film were forced to stand in the growing line outside the photo room. As the evening began to draw to a close, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived. The prom king and queen were about to be announced. Senior Scott Shoun was crowned king. His queen was fellow class- mate and girlfriend Rhonda Hanson. The newly crowned king and queen led the rest of the couples in a dance. Couples slowly filtered out as the end of Prom drew nearer. The final song was enjoyed by only a few re- maining students. As they too stepped onto the elevator for the downward trip to the lobby, they took one more glance at the lone palm tree standing in the comer before the elevator doors shut. The music and dancing are called to a halt for the announcement of the Prom King and Queen. Newly- crowned seniors Rhonda Hanson and Scott Shoun enjoyed the applause from the onlookers. The principal of the school, Mr. Olen Evans, attends the prom to look after his young charges. Stacey Lippincott helped him witn his attire by pinning on his boutonniere. The members of the junior class are responsible for decorating the site of the prom. Michelle Northsworthy, Faren Wolter, and Nina Seligman rested while fellow classmates Marty Gatewood, Stacey Lippincoftt, Trisha Hickmoftt, and Chris Duncan blew up white and blue balloons for the ele Gardens of the Chamberlin otel. Dream or Reality? With his red robe and gol- den turban, the swami with- out a crystal ball appeared on stage. The frantic whisper- ing of the crowd ceased as the twange of musical noises filtered from the shadows toward them. The dream- interpreting swami lead the audience on a two-hour trip through the noctumal imag- ination of the senior class. The adventure began with the revelation of Anje Phelps life-long ambition to sing a duet with the handsome lead singer of a famous rock group. Dreams, as we know, don’t always come true. Therefore, she had fo settle for fellow classmate Charles Woodruff and the band Dimensions ‘86. Although Anje’s dream only allowed her one song with her gorgeous lead sing- er, she became one of the central figures in Luis Cuesta’s fantasy. In the dream, Anje was the beautiful blonde American who danced a midnight tango with him in his native country, Spain. The colorful swami un- covered the hidden desires of each student who approached him. A soccer fullback, a quarterback, a state championship wrestler, and a center-fielder ex- pressed a wish to form a hard rock group by the name of Transaction. Before the swami finished describing the meeting, the notes of the group's first song echoed through the forum as the group came fo life with Scott Wiggins on the drums, Scott Brown playing bass guitar, John Leach on the keyboard, and Tommy Bastian on lead guitar. The image faded 34 Senior skit away as the last note died. Scott Wiggins not only dreamed of being the drummer in a heavy metal group, he also wished to be the lead rapper in what he called “The Senior Class Shuffle.” Some of his fellow classmates joined in the rap- ping. According to this motley crew, they weren‘t there to cause any trouble, they were just there to do the senior class shuffle. Dreams of successful bands and rapping with friends weren't the only things on the minds of this year’s seniors. Many students re- vealed deep fears in their dreams. The swami un- covered Karlin Hedin’s nightmares concerning a gigantic candy kiss at her Chocoholics’ Anonymous meetings while Keith Bocklet Telling a princess of his love for her, Prince Luis Cuesta has his minstrel John Leach sing the Prince’s pledge of love. “Things have changed since high school,” says Denise Rensing and Cassie Ward after joining up with the Harley Honeys.

Perhaps the most terrifying fantasy was Greg Discenza’s life- long wish to be the schoo! stud. The entire senior class was revealed on the wall of the forum, thanks to a video done by Mrs. Marie Sproull’s senior art students. The upper- classmen sang a farewell song, “Maybe Someday,” and the curtain closed. “We're just really not the gossiping kind,” sing Pamela Danforth, Kelly LeVan, Diane Taylor, Tyna Sloate, Burna Nelsen, Kathy Phipps, Sally Davenport, Betsy Bell, Whitney Winters, and Susan Roberts, knowing nobody will believe them.

Now put them on again, and as the processional hymn sounds, the ones in the back will begin to leave in order. Does everybody under- stand? Alright, let’s go... the pool is waiting for us!” After hours of sauna in the forum and an “oven session” in the gym practicing for the baccalaureate ceremony, seniors were about ready to begin their pool party. The smell of the hot dogs grilling was floating over the pool area as the members of the class of ‘86 got ready to fight the heat. The sun smiled with satis- faction that Friday aftemoon, watching all those men and women of tomorrow enjoying their day off like children as they played football in the water, ran around, and fooled the lifeguards. At last, the desired moment arrived, and somebody pronounced the magic word: food. People gathered around As the seniors’ special guest, Gun- Britt Wahlstrom works on getting an American tan while Kathy Heezen, Kim Dougherty, and Angie Douglas talk to each other. The hot weather makes everyone thirsty. Kathy Mikulas and Robbie Turner helped themselves to a refreshing drink from the cooler. the tables where Mrs. Bonnie Fay and Mrs. Rita Kehoe, and Mr. Dave Nelson had placed everything so carefully. The two lines advanced slowly as the almighty seniors stuffed their plates with hot dogs, Doritos, potato salad, and beans. While they were struggling to swallow all the food that was on their dishes, they were entertained by Kathy Phipps. She announced the 1986 Senior Superlatives, laughing like crazy, as she always does. The aquatic games started again after awhile, as a few people tried to employ their last chance to get a tan before summer. As the after- noon passed, the hordes began to calm down. People started to leave, and the pool rested alone. The cans scattered over the tables and all the filled trash cans were testimonies of the past of the class of ‘86 by the pool. Another traditional picnic was over. Another class, another year ... and yet, for a few hours, maybe only for these few hours the picnic lasted, the members of the class of ‘86 forgot that they were seniors. Maybe they wished they could stop time and enjoy their golden dreams forever. Senior picnic 37 High School year’s end; Another stage of life begins GRADUATION Splash! As yet another droplet of rain splashed against your shoulder, you looked skyward and silently prayed for the ninety degree weather that had scorched you during practice the day before. The fear of being too hot had been replaced with the greater horror of being soaking wet. Another crash of thunder sounded in the dis- tance as you waited help- lessly for the threatening summer storm to arrive. Mrs. Bonnie Fay called your attention to the steps of the gym and you patiently listened to her final in- structions. As she directed the entire senior class to line up in their proper positions, you fought the crowd to find your place. You stood in the hot gymnasium and checked your cap one final time before you began to march. As the line started to move, you breathed a sigh of relief and followed your fellow classmates outside. Butterflies danced in your stomach as you went through the motions of the routine you had practiced the day before. You made a sharp turn down your aisle and waited for the others’ seats to be filled before your entire row sat down. As the rest of 38 Graduation the senior class filed into their seats, you scanned the bleachers for the faces of your parents and relatives. Once the graduating class had been seated, the ceremony began with the welcoming of family and friends by the senior class president, Burna Nelsen. Valedictorian John Klassa reminisced with his peers about the first day of school in his farewell soeech to the class of 1986. In a few parting words to her classmates, salutatorian Laura Trantham urged each senior to “scale higher peaks and meet new challenges.” Just as the irritation of the horseflies began to get to the graduates, exchange student Luis Cuesta gave his farewell speech to the students and citizens of Poquoson as well as his new home, America. According to Luis, “| just wanted to say two things: hi and thank you.” The ceremony continued with words from School Board Chairman Liz Ward, Su- perintendent of Schools Dr. Ray Vernall, and Principal Olen Evans. The guest speaker, Senator Hunter Andrews, shocked the seniors and audience by requesting that the gradu- ates “stand up, thank your Poquoson has become a new home for ished exchange student Luis Cuesta, He graduated with honors — and a place in the heart of many students and faculty. parents, tell them that you love them, then blow them a kiss,” The moment every student waits for finally arrived. As each student walked up to receive his diploma, family members and close friends could be heard shouting cheers from the bleachers. After all 208 members of the senior class received their diplomas, Senior Class President Burna Nelsen led the class in the traditional tuming of the tassels. With a final prayer, the graduates rose and left the field in two straight lines, leaving high school days behind them forever. Being the top student in the graduat- ing class allows Valedictorian John Klassa the opportunity to share some thoughts with his classmates as part of the graduation exercise. The Joe Thomas Award is given to a graduate who exemplifies the well- rounded student athlete. Last year’s recipient Teresa Evans recognized Elliott Duty with the award. State Senator Hunter Andrews in- structs the graduates to thank their parents and blow them a kiss. He reminisced of former times in Poquoson and the quality education Poquoson has to offer.

Junior quarterback Tommy Bastian got the start for the Islanders. The team played tough on defense, but failed to score on offense. York ended up winning 11-0.

They took the ball down to the 3 yard line of Sussex Central, but lost it on an interception. The final score was 20-14. This game helped prepare them for the upcoming game against Bruton. The game against Bruton was very intense. The Island- ers marched down the field o n the opening drive, settling for a Tommy Bastian field goal. Bruton came back with a touchdown. The hard run- ning of Kerry Williams, the second leading rusher in the district last year, took the ball back to within scoring dis- tance. Scott Wiggins then plunged in for the scoring two touchdowns, defeating the Islanders 21-10. Homecoming week marked a big game against Glou- cester. The team worked hard all week, hoping to end the streak. Gloucester scored on its opening drive with a 50 yard run. The bright spot for Poquoson came when running back Scott Brown ran for two touchdowns. Gloucester then scored two more touchdowns handing the Islanders a 20-12 loss. Against Northampton the Islanders struck hard and fast. Scott Wiggins scored twice, once on a 25 yard scamper and a 9 yard run. The offense could not score again. North- hampton ended up scoring three touchdowns after that, beating the Islanders 21-12. The final game of the sea- son was a 38-7 loss to Gloucester. The only score came when Tommy Bastian threw a 57 yard pass to Mike Musiol. Scott Wiggins then went 2 yards for the score. The disappointing season was a sad experience for the seniors on th e team, all of whom graduated without ex- periencing a varsity win.

The girls’ basketball team had to face two new changes. First, the basketball was now eight inches in diameter instead of nine. This is so the ball would be proportionate to the size of the girls’ hands and easier for them to handle. The other change they had to face was now there was only one jumpball. A possession clock which alternated who would get the ball was used throughout the rest of the game. These changes took a while to get used to, but the Lady Islanders managed. The girls had some trouble maintaining control from quarter fo quarter. In a con- test against Tabb the girls were winning until a couple of turnovers resulted in Tabb going ahead. The team did not fall apart though, in- stead they pulled themselves together and came out fight- ing in their next game. The Islanders made it into the first round of the District Tournament by beating Bruton two of their three meetings. The game was a few days away and the team was practicing hard. The Lady Islanders had to face the undefeated York Falcons. The first quarter was disastrous, it looked like the end, but it was not. The team came out strong in the second quarter and con- tinued to play hard the rest of the game. Despite the last effort made by the players, they could not make up the difference. The final score was 39-57. The Lady Islanders went down fighting. At the Fall Sports Banquet Vann Brown received the Most Valuable Team Player award while Stacey Tyndall was named Most Improved. The sophomore team member, Kim Mayo, was awarded Best Defensive Player. Cathy Mikulas had the special honor of re- ceiving the Coach's Player Award. The recipient of the Sportsmanship Award was Gina White. The award for Academic Excellence was earned by Evonne Book- walter.

Girls’ basketball 49 TUMBLING TO WIN The theory of gymnastics coach Bob Gemmill was, “if we could get past Districts, we could place in the top four at state.” This assumption proved to be true. The girls were second in District and in Regionals. The team then went on to state where they took fourth place. The team had some ex- perience this year, with ten members retuming from last year and only two new- comers. The team’s ex- perience, along with talent, was evident by their record of 8 wins and 2 losses. One of the team’s great victories was over their archrival Tabb. The two teams were tense throughout the meet and wanted to do their best in their routines. The members of the team wanted the victory over the first place team in the District, especially after losing to them earlier by a difference of six points. The girls’ first loss of the season came in their second meet of the year. York Falcons handed them this loss. This was an upset for the team with just one tenth of a point separating the two teams.

The great players such Todd Bowden and Jackie Stone have graduated, leaving behind many memories and a dis- trict championship. Although this year’s team won no dis- trict championship the memories of the year will remain with each player. The team was led by seniors Todd Sperling, Mike Musiol, Tad Vest, and C.B. Coleman. The season started with the team traveling to Manassas, Virginia, where they played Osboum Senior and Stonewall Jackson High School. The team lost both games, but Todd Sperling showed that he was the leader on the court for the Islanders. He continued to ON THE COURT Winning is not everything dominate in each game, but the team always seemed to come up short. They first tasted victory at home against a tough Portsmouth Catholic opponent, winning 43-39, Todd led the Islanders in scoring and rebounding in the game. The next victory came against Norfolk Catholic at their gym. Norfolk Catholic had previously beaten the Islanders in a tournament which Norfolk Catholic hosted. Despite being sick, Todd still played the game and helped his team to a victory, 43-38. Later that week, Todd found out that he had a serious case of mononucle- osis and would have to sit out forthe rest of the year. Though the team played tough in every game for the rest of the season, they were not the same without Todd. The team nearly beat Gloucester by coming back from a huge deficit behind tough defense and a 20- point performance by point- guard Mike Musiol. In a dis- trict game against first-place Tabb, the Islanders started off strong, leading at the end of the first quarter. At half time, the team was only three points behind the leaders. Tabb came out with a strong surge in the second half creating a great margin of victory, defeating Poquoson 73-52. Poquoson was led by Mike Musiol with 23 points. When asked about the team, Coach Dave Nelson replied, “These were dedicated young men, who faced up to much adversity.” Despite playing in only four district games, Todd Sperling was named to the Second Team All-District by the York River District coaches. Mike Musiol was named Honor- able Mention. At the Winter Sports Banquet, numerous awards were given. The Most Valuable Team Player was shared between Todd Sper- ling and Mike Musiol. Musiol was also name Best Defen- sive Player and received the Academic Award. Clay Marcum was named Most Improved, while Ike Davis obtained the Sportsmanship Award.

A lot of different players got time in the game, and all the victories were a team effort.” Coach Mark VanDervort expressed these thoughts about his junior varsity team. Although the team did not finish high in the district, they ended the season with a respectable record of 5-14. The floor leaders for the team were freshman Todd Lawson, only 9 2, and sophomore Mike Firman. Todd broke the full-court presses of each opponent consistently, while Mike was the constant rebounder.

The season for the boys would seem to be a dis- appointment, but that is not how it should be classified. The members worked hard in the two mile run and he finished third in the state in the mile run. Mark dominated in the York River District in both of these races, and was named to the All-Peninsula team in the mile. Mike Logs- don competed in the high jump, but his mainstay was the pole vault competition, and his best jump was 12-0 feet. Chuck Tookey was a fierce competitor. He was one of the fastest sprinters and had perfect running form. Chuck made it to re- gionals in three events. The boys’ closest meet was a 66- 70 loss to Tabb. The girls had the same kind of season as the boys and they also had outstanding performances. The girls were led by Chery! Dyer, Stepha- nie Olson, Kari Tookey, and Pam Yourey. Chery!

MARK IT A tall, thin blondneaded boy entered the building with his only real thoughts being a new experience and eventual graduation. This is how Mark Williams could be described as he entered Poquoson High for the first time. During his Sophomore year he ran cross-country CNCeiLOCKmmcn Cush cas dominated in the York River District ever since. In cross-country, Mark has been one of the toprunners in the Region for the last two years. This year he won the York River District, finished second in the region, and fourteenth in the state. This eamed him a spot on the All- Peninsula Sports Club team, which honors only six runners on the Peninsula. Track is Mark’s forte. In the mile run he had the best time on the Peninsula, eaming him All-Peninsula honors in that event. In regional and state competition, Mark finished fifth in the mile run at regionals, and finished the state meet at an amazing third place. Mark Williams has been quite an asset to Poquoson High School and his determi- nation will benefit him in the future. Track 63 ‘LOB’ TO ‘LOVE’ Boys second in district Long seasons were the prospective hopes for both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams. The boys enjoyed their long season because they were constantly winning. The girls were not as fortu- nate, but most of them were underclassmen and will return next year.

The boys’ team was not ex- pected to be as tough in the district as they were. They repeated being District Champions, but this year they tied for first with York. Ina playoff match with the falcons to see who would go to Regionals, York barely defeated the Islanders 5-4. Mike Bumgarner, who played fourth seed, tumed in an undefeated season until the District Tournament, where he was defeated. In Rai a ; ; 3 a doubles play, Mike and his partner Jim Johnson were the top number seed in the dis- trict. Until the District fouma- ment, the duo had only lost one match, and that was to a tough AAA opponent. For a great season, Mike _ and Jim were named the top doubles team at their posi- tion on the Peninsula. The team’s success can be attri- buted to Coach Spain and his tough three hour practices. The season for the girl’s team was not quite as Ss successful. The year was mainly a learning ex- perience for the girls, all the top seeds will be retuming next year. Heather Wortham played the number one seed for the Islanders. Strong showings were made by Krista Townsend and Stephanie Szupel. Krista and Stephanie played third and fifth seeds respectively and defeated many of their district opponents. With his sweats on before a match against Bruton, Mike Bumgarner works near the net.

A GOAL NOT FAR District and Tourney Champs _ An outstanding team performance by the Islander soccer team led them to the District and Tournament ‘Championships. They finished with an overall ecord of 12-4-2, The team clinched the district after tying York in the sixth game. No district team defeated the Islanders and the 6-0-2 district record is the best in the history of Poquoson High School soccer. The team started the season by playing a tough schedule. The first opponents were of AAA status. Denbigh defeated the Islanders by a narrow score of 3-2. Then the team went on to crush Warwick High Schoo! by a score of 8-0. The hard- playing team of Lafayette, a power in AAA schools, escaped the Islanders with a 2-0 decision. Phoebus was heavily overpowered and was defeated 6-0. The Islanders were led in scoring by junior Jeff Hill with 21 goals. Jeff finished as one of the leading scorers in the district. He was helped in scoring by senior Mike McCabe and junior Mike Vaughan. On defense, hard charging John Leach led the fullbacks and the ever- reliable Jeff McCuistion played as the Islander goal keeper. When asked about this year’s team, Coach Bob Gemmill commented, “We expected to make it to Regionals, but never ex- pected to be undefeated in the District. | think our record demonstrates how much we played like a team.” The Islanders breezed through the district with decisive wins over Bruton and Gloucester. In the District tournament Poquoson crushed Glou- cester 7-2 in the first game. In the championship game, Jeff Hill headed in a pass from Ricky Cissa to defeat Tabb 1-0. In the first game of the Region, Poquoson met Manchester. The Islanders were not put to the test and easily won 3-0. The second game was much the same with the thrashing of Smith- field 7-0.

The team rolled over every other team with decisive victories, earning them an automatic berth in the Regional Tournament. The Regional Toumament is the last step for the soccer teams since there is no state- wide toumament. In the first game of Regionals, Poquoson defeated Manchester. The score of the game was 3-0. Jeff Hill scored 2 goals and Mike McCabe scored one. The second game was more of a free for all for Poquoson. The final score was 7-0, with the ever-dependa ble Jeff Hill scoring two goals.

Finish with Win After tough non-district losses to AAA powers Ferguson and Kecoughtan, the Islanders baseball team never really played to their overall potential. Although the season started off with an impressive win over Hampton Roads Academy, 11-2, if was followed by close losses to Kecoughtan, 7-4, and Ferguson, 9-7. The Islanders played tough, but never real- ly seemed to put if all together. Starting the district competition with a 2-4 record, the Bulls lost close, one run games fo Gloucester, 2-1, and to York, 11-10, in 12 innings. The team also lost to Tabb, 14-5 before tasting their first district victory of the season over Bruton, 7-3. After playing each team again and having a district record of 2-6, the Islanders still had a shot at making it to regional competition. After beating Gloucester on the road 3-2, a setback at the hands of York 8-5, and a loss to district champion Tabb 5-2, the Islanders hope of reaching regional competition was ended. The Islanders did avenge an early loss to Bruton by beating the Panthers 2-1 and finished with a 4-8 district record and a 6-12 overall record. The Islanders were led by senior All-District pitcher Jimmy Knaub’s 4-2 record and a 2.15 era.

Islanders go to regionals The Girls’ softball season may not have started off with a bang, but it ended with one. Their district record of 8- 4 advanced them to regional play. The first district game against Gloucester set the pace for the season for the Lady Islanders. The score for the game remained tied 1-1 until the fourteenth inning. With two people on base Evonne Bookwalter bunted to advance the runners. After a series of plays, the team scored four runs and ended the game with a 5-1 victory. The girls continued their season doing well, beating the other teams in the district. But their luck ran out. With four away games in a row, the players became weary and had problems hitting and fielding the ball. It was a dis- appointment for the girls to lose four of their last five games. The record going into the last game of the regular season was 8-4, tied with Bruton for first place. Bruton was also the last game of the season for the Islanders. After losing the lead of 2-1 through fielding errors, the team never regained its momentum and lost the game 7-5.

The first regional game was against Manchester on the evening of Memorial Day. With a good defense and a hitting rally in the third inning the Islanders beat the Lancers 5-1.

You knew you -hadn’‘t been the model student. Reaching the door, you pull if open and try to shove yourself and your colorfully decorated board into the opening before the door slammed shut with the force of the wind. Once inside the unusually quiet building, you head for the spot where you were supposed to set up your ex- periment. You get to your spot and realize that someone else has already occupied it. With a groan of misery, you start out in search of Mrs. Joyce Gaines so she can help clear up the problem and you will have time to return home for a quick nap before the judging. Once you locate her, you are able to move the other person’‘s display to A, THE FAI the correct position. You are finally able to leave after a 10 minute delay moving the other person‘s materials, and another 15 minutes setting up your own display. You check to make sure everything is in order and leave for your nap. You again head for the doors, but this time at a dead run because of your extended nap. Rushing to your display, you straighten your hair and clothes and nervously wait for your chance to speak with the officials. Scenes such as this were very much a part of the science fair that occurred on January 11. For some students, the fair was an eagerly anticipated event that had been planned and worked on for the past three months. Other students viewed the fair as a necessary evil in order to pass their chosen science course. An awards ceremony was held at Telling Kathleen Clark about the science fair, Mrs. Mary Beth Leavitt shows her the dimensions the projects should be. Thumbing through the projects of the fair, Sandi Ferguson tried to decide which is her favorite. 1:00 p.m. after the judging had been completed. First, second, and third place awards, as well as severa l honorable mentions, were given in each category of the two divisions. sophomore Tim Blankenship took first place in the Senior Division with his ex- periment entitled “Experimental Antifouling Paints.” Ami VanDeventer received the first place award in the Junior Division for her project “Which Lens Cleaner Works Best?” The two overall winners in the fair were Tim Blankenship, with Best in Show, and junior Brian Jewett, second place, Best in Show for his ex- periment “En-zymes Epitomes.” Both top winners advanced to the regional competition, along with many of the other students who received honors in the fair. Academics 79 POLITICAL ee pass a bill, senators Rob Heffeman, Jeff McCuistion, Phaedra Moran, and Scott Regan find a way to amend the bill. Discussing an upcoming bill, senators Holly Pierce and Sally Davenport point out the pros and cons of the bill. JARGON “I’m afraid that the issue is under the state’s jurisdiction.” “What are you talking about? Ex- cuse me, Mr. President, but that senator obviously lacks the accurate information on this bill.” It sounds weird, doesn’t it? It’s the language of the “politicians.” For nearly a month, all the seniors in Mr. Dave Nelson’s government classes had to express themselves using this boring and archaic style of speech. The students had to participate in a mock senate, divided into committees, parties, and chambers. The purpose of the mock senate was to reach a better understanding of the American political system, and especially the United States Senate. For a month, Mr. Nelson’s big sunny 80 Academics room was transformed into the crowded and noisy senate floor. All kinds of bills were proposed by the young senators, but the issues that concemed them the most were the speed limits on the interst ates, the seat belt acts, and the drinking age. As in all the democracies, opinions, pro and con, were debated. An agreement among the senators could only be reached by means of intense Ccaucusing and hot discus- sion. Very few bills passed without being cut somewhere. After long weeks amending, rewrit- ing, and sending more and more bills on the floor, Mr. Nelson decided that they had had enough. He took the power over again, and established a dictatorship in his class once more. Exams are those tests that you take in order fo show your knowledge, but in most cases, the only thing they truly show is your ignorance. Just look at this poor, Classic student: 5:30 a.m. — The alarm rings and he wakes up with a sudden move. He finds himself sleeping on his books with his head on the desk. He cannot manage to remember whether he fell asleep while he was studying of if he was sleepwalking.

Academics 81 ERMINATOR “Is this the library?” “| don’t know. Stop the car and I'll go ask that lady.” Does this conversation sound familiar? Most academic juniors would say yes. The quest to find the library is most often a major problem when Spring begins for a junior. It is this time that they begin work on their research papers. Most juniors frown at the thought of research papers. Marty Forrest and Michelle Norsworthy said, “Term paper? What term paper? It was our Sunday recess!”’ Being the more studious type, John Morris stated, “They are a difficult but necessary part of high school cur riculum.” Other juniors also commented on research papers. Marty Gatewood said, “It wasn't an easy job, but I’m sure it'll pay off when | go to college.” Most students didn’t like writing the paper, but they agreed on the fact that they would help when they went to a A r. = ¥ ' 1 . bA.% ive Ne - — 82 Academics college.

You leam more about a topic when you have to write about it,” said Ms. Helen Small. Whether students or teachers like them or not, doesn’t matter. Accord- ing to Virginia State guidelines for education, all academic high school students must write a research paper. Here, all academic English juniors write a 1500-2000-word paper. Seniors in academic English classes write a much shorter paper; if only has to be three to five pages. Some other classes write research papers. Higher courses in science, such as advanced biology chemistry and physics, write one, as well as AP history. So an advanced student can count on writing at least one research paper by the end of his junior year, possibly more. The Thinker. Concentration was a necessity when thinking of an introduction to the paper, as Scott Petermann soon realized.

With some clubs, it seems like the list of members Could go on forever. Clubs involve a large portion of the student body. For each of these clubs, a teacher sponsor is assigned, but other leaders are necessary to take charge of each organization. That's where the club officers come in. Their jobs are basically to run or oversee each meeting held by the Clubs. Organizations like the Key Club sponsor many schoolwide events. Mrs. Ann Semeyn is the teacher sponsor. To help with leadership of this club, four officers were elected. secretary Kathy Mahler said that it’s her job to take roll, take down the minutes, and help collect dues. She must have all this done at each meet- ing. The other Key Club officers have similar responsibilities. They all have to insure the smooth running of each gathering of the group. SCA meetings were called to order every other Wednesday by President Brian Bartram. Brian‘s job was to dis- Cuss school! problems with all the SCA members as a group. He also had to call for votes on these issues so that decisions could be reached. The National Honor Society had to organize everything that involved homecoming: the dance, the floats, the week before, everything. During football season, President Scott Regan appointed a chainoerson to each committee that was formed to organize the many details of Homecoming. Even though a faculty member may add to the success of a parti- cular club, officers are still needed to do the work. They prove themselves to be assets to their teacher sponsor at each club meeting. “Down the Road, Deck The Hall” is harmoni- ously sung by the Waterfront Jazz Show Choir during the Christmas concert.

The Student Council Association is perhaps the single largest club in all of Posquoson High. The SCA has 9 representatives from each grade. It has 4 officers, and each president and vice-president of each class is in- cluded in its membership. Elections are held at the end of each school year to choose the 9 representatives and the officers of the SCA. These are The canned food drive is one of the many charitable activities of the clubs. always necessary in order to limit the members in each grade to nine. Many students petition others each spring so that they may be in these elections. Sometimes even run-off elections are necessary. So why do all these people wish to be members of the Student Council? Although it does look good on a student’s record, some join to help put in bettering our school. The SCA holds meetings every other Wednesday to hear new ways for them to do this. They listen to students from around the school and then the members represent these other students at the meetings. They use their ideas and suggestions as input into the SCA discussions. The SCA makes decisions that affect the entire school. Representa- tives must be responsible and willing to put time and effort into the job. By being elected, the members of their class are saying that they are recognized as true leaders.

Ted Smith, a member of the Model U.N., said he was“... in- terested in how the real U.N. worked and would have a chance to meet new people.’’ Diane Taylor, a member of the SCA, said she joined ... to have a say in what goes on with the students and what goes on around the school.” Bernie Compton said, “The reason | wanted to be in the Key Club is because | want to take part in school activities and help in the community.” There are actually many reasons for joining all of the clubs here at PHS. Every member has his or her own ideas and interests. It is what keeps the clubs and students so active. Long hours of practice pay off as Sinnamon McPherson and Kimmy Ruehl prepare for the start of their routine. R oar Ce Tae THESPIANS — (F-B) C. Evans (Treas.}, K. Dougherty (Clerk), A.

Various clubs work in community activities, whether by donating money to a charity or dis- tributing food to the needy. In November the FBLA had a canned food drive. Mr. Mark VanDer- vort’s homeroom class won. All the food collected was given to the So- cial Services in Yorktown and dis- tributed to needy families. Many clubs spread their Christmas spirit with various activities. The Key Club, along with the Kiwanis Club, sponsored a needy family. They bought them a Christmas dinner and gave them some sweaters. The Na- tional Honor Society collected money. Some of this money was given to a church to give to a needy family and other money was given to the Marines for Toys for Tots. In keep- ing with the traditional Christmas joy, SCA sponsored a food drive. All that was collected was given to Social Services. Mrs. Janet Knight's homeroom collected the most cans. Over 100 pints of blood were given on March 10 at the Key Club Blood Drive. Senior Tara Smith was one of many who helped out. Bastian, D. Leatherman, S. Alexander, B. Bartram, D. Sammons, D. Southall, J: Heyman, M. Stewart, G. McCardle, S. Kingsmore, E. Beach. harities Help The Needy One of the unique things that clubs do is donate money to chari- ties. The FBLA gave almost $100 to Project Ask. This project is designed to help the study of childhood cancer. SCA placed Easter Seals cans in each homeroom. All money collected was given to Easter Seals. Mrs. Brenda Winsiead’s homeroom collected the most money. Her Class also collected money from other clubs and donated it to the Heart Fund. Clubs also help children. FHA helped at Childfest, which was a place where kids went to different booths to do various things. At Christmas time, girls in the Key Club dressed up as elves and passed out candy fo the little children. Also, many children at the hospital were visited by the FBLA and the Key Club. The FBLA brought candy while the Key Club took them coloring books. Clubs at Poquoson High do not always get any credit for the charity work they do, but the members always have the satis- faction of helping the less fortu- nate. COLOR GUARD — (F-B) M. Hauiz, G.

Star Wars, winning a second powder puff footbalk game, college applications, Summit peace talks, wearing fogas on Home- coming Friday, the Can- terbury Tales, the space shuttle explosion — these are just a few of the thoughts floating through the mind of an average senior. The class started out with more spirit and enthusiasm than ever before. They came fo the first pep rally smiling and chanting “SENIORS, SENIORS, SENIORS ...” They proudly carried the senior banner and other signs made by excited seniors. A final ex- plosion of enthusiasm came at the end of the pep rally when the senior class won the first spirit stick of the year. WhenNovember arrived and along with it Herff Jones, the mood changed. It was time to order caps and gowns. This slap of reality left mixed emotions. The ex- citement was still there, but is was different. This was not a carefree, happy ex- citement. If was an anxious, worried kind of excitement. Everyone seemed to be asking themselves, “Are we really going to be graduating — already?” After the tension of Science Fair projects, first semester exams, and rush- ing to complete put-off applications had faded — senioritis (spring fever of the worst variety) set in.

The order forms for pictures and announcements seem to scream for money. The senior pictures were taken during the summer. Through all the excitement they forgot about all the money they had to pay when the time to order these pictures came. Not long after the picture taking was over, announcements, caps, and gowns became the center of attention or should it be money? Everything on the order form looked good and the seniors had a hard time deciding what not to order. Prom seems to be another money consumer.

The majority of parents try to discourage their children from being left- handed. Stacey Tyndall adds, “My own mother saw me using my left hand a lot and tried to train me _ to use my right hand. But because my father is a lefty, he thought it was an excellent trait to have and put a stop to it.” Experts believe stuttering may be caused by forcing a natural left-handed person to be right- handed.

The junior and senior girls did not think so as they challenged each other fo a game of powder-puff football. Rich Cannella and Scott Wiggins worked continuously with the senior girls to prepare them for a tough game. It was tense and tough throughout the game. Kim McCabe scored the first three points for the juniors with a field goal. The score remained 3-0 in favor of the juniors until the third quarter. Gina White ran for a touchdown, but the extra point attempt failed. The seniors had another chance to move down the field and score one more time. But as Gina White, the quarterback, ran to the right, her flag fell off in the end zone and Mr. Hinds, a referee, ruled this as a safety. This gave the juniors two more points. The score was then 6-5 and the juniors attempted to score again on a field goal, but a delay of game penalty moved them back and out of field goal range. Mr. Hinds then blew his whistle, signaling the end of the game. The senior girls were victorious.

Even after being at the top for a year, most seniors are more than willing to give up their status for the name college freshman.” “The title ‘freshman’ may not be so bad as it sounds at first,” explains Stacey Tyndall. “It is different from being a freshman in high school. Upperclassmen don’t pick on you the same way and most of the time you can’t even tell who the freshmen are.” There are some seniors though who think being a freshman again will be “a pain.’”’ Laura Trantham says, “You wasted four years working your way to the top and once you get there, you have to start at the bottom again.” Seniors constantly hear people tell them “this is the best year of your life — Tina M.

It is going to be scary be- cause offer graduation is when your life really starts.” Even though graduation is an exciting and memorable day, it is also very sad. Affer many years of being together, it is hard when friends go their separate ways. Natalie Whitlow said, “It will be great to graduate, but it is going to be very difficult to leave my friends whom | have grown up with.” The countdown for some seniors brought much apprehension about going to college and leaving home. “| am so ex- cited about graduation, but | am pretty nervous about going to college, it is a whole new ball game there,” said Vann Brown. One thing is certain, June 11, 1986, will be a day remembered by all seniors at Poquoson High School. A little disgusted with all their work, Jeep Wedding and Mike Musiol eagerly await graduation.

Everyone can relate to Stevie whether we know someone like him or we can see a little bit of ourselves in him. Brriiinngg ... Stevie’s alarm blares to signal the start of another Monday moming. Slam! He hits the clock and it tumbles to the floor as Stevie rolls over for a few more minutes of much needed sleep. Stevie had a rough night last night out with the guys. His mother had told him not to stay out late on a school night, but Stevie didn’t listen — he’s a senior. Stevie finally rolls out of bed, and once again he’s late for government class with Mrs. Keech. This doesn’t bother Stevie though; he just slides into those jeans that he’s worn all weekend, catches a wheel out of the driveway and he’s walking into the school by 8:00. It’s a lucky break for Stevie that he’s too late to get into first hour. He has to sit in the nurse’s office until second hour — English (and Mrs. Fay). Now he has a chance to read that Tale. Oh, if he could only remember which one was assigned. That’s okay, he really didn’t want to read anyway. So Stevie tells the nurse he’s going to his locker and roams the halls until second hour. It's a few minutes before the lunch bell and Stevie runs as the teacher opens the door fo let the seniors leave early. He wants fo be the first in line for his “double.” During lunch Stevie starts a food fight. Just as he’s about fo throw a roll some little freshman who's not looking where he’s going bumps Stevie’s chair and the roll misses its target to hit Mr. Evans. Stevie thinks to himself, “Why Strutting down the hall, Chad Grube looks don't these underclassmen give us seniors any respect?” as ifhe may bea | Poquoson “Stevie.” Tad A. Vest Cassie L.

Williiams Diagnosis: Senioritis Seniors are it! Seniors rule! Phrases as simple as these can completely change the personality and the character of a student. They can bring him to acquire the terrible virus of SENIORITIS. The most common symptoms among those who are affected by this disease are a general apathy or unconcem about all the activities that involve the use of books, an unexplainable excitement followed by gestures, jumps, leaps and shouts every time somebody says something about graduation; a propensity to feel oneself superior to others, a good mood that grows up and increases when the end of the year comes around and a constant repetition of three key words: party, prom and fun. The senioritis fever mysteriously arrives each year around April and May, and it invades the high school making it impossible for the affected ones to take any class seriously. Where can we find the causes of this fever, you may ask? The origins are in a sort of virus known as “Graduation.” This virus makes the ones that acquire it feel that they are becoming adults, even when they behave like children. These patients (usually called seniors) feel that they are going to enter into the world by themselves. J “Is there any potion or any draught, any X beams (rays), or W or Y or whatever, that can help to % prevent and to cure this disease?” Well, experience proves that the only things that can partially eliminate the effects of SENIORITIS are time and some dose of patience. As a matter of fact, the ‘ best you can do is to relax and enjoy it while you have it, because there will always be time enought to miss it. lf Senioritis has already begun to take over in your brain when you read these lines and you notice that you are beginning to worry too much about going to college or God knows what, take ‘ it easy, guys. Remember that we still have the chance of being a senior again in four years; one of the main reasons why being a senior is important is because if is something that will only happen to you a few times in your life. Please don’t forget: wherever you are, wherever you go, whatever you % do, SENIORS ARE IT!!! EO a LIN MINT Ss A 128 Seniors Edward G. Wilson Kyle E. Wimmer Whitney A. Winters Charles R.

Every senior has the opportunity fo vote for one boy and one girl in each category. Some choices are very obvious. If not out on the field participating in a sport, Jeeo Wedding can be seen cheering the feam on with the cheerleaders or leading the band which earns him the title of “Most spirited.” A 3.9 grade point average, many questions and a lot of note-taking make John Klassa the best choice for “Hardest Working.” “Most cheerful,’” Susan Roberts, can hardly complete a sentence without a smile or giggle. A three-sport letterman, Mike Musiol is not only “Most athletic,” but also “Most Likely to Succeed.” Always talking and giggling (especially with the opposite sex), Tyna Sloate is our “Biggest flirt.” Everyone has qualities that make them special.

Receiving one’s class ring may very well be the most remembered event in all a person’s high schoo! days. Not only does it mean getting out of class to pick up your ring, it is a time of ex- citement and unity. The ring symbol- izes this unity felt throughout the whole junior class as each junior turns their friends’ rings, saving the last tum for that someone special. Shortly after the excitement of receiving class rings dies down, junior English teachers, Mrs. Katz and Mrs. VanDervort, announce the start of the research paper. With utter confu- sion, the juniors travel to and from many libraries to make their papers the best that they can be. Although many students dread this fatal chore, most juniors realize that it is great preparation for a college career. With the receiving of the class rings and the research paper finally finished and over with, juniors con- cem themselves with the next thing that the whole class has been saving their money for since the ninth grade. This great social event is the junior and senior prom, sponsored by none other than the junior class. They once again gather together and make this night a night to remember for themselves and the graduating class. The juniors, the class of 1987, have formed an overwhelming bond of love and friendship for each other. It is this type of love which makes a class strong and willing to be the best that it can be.

We graduate when we're sixteen,’’ says Gun-Britt Wahlstrom, one of our foreign ex- change students at PHS. The high school that Gun-Britt attends in Sweden is called Fredirika Bremer Skolan. Seventh through ninth grades are taught there. Elementary school has grades one through three and middle school has four through six. Her typical school day back home in Sweden begins at 6:00 AM. Gun- Britt lives on an island, so she has a 40 to 50 minute trip to and from the island to get where the school is located, then she rides a public bus the rest of the way. School begins at 8:20 AM. Gun-Britt’s Curriculum con- sists of seventeen subjects a week. She doesn’t take every subject each day. She says that she may only have two hours of English in one week. Her main course of study is languag- 134 Juniors es. At the present time, she is tak- ing French, German, Spanish, English, and Swedish. She said that the grading system is totally different back in Sweden. They have a scale of one through five, with five being the highest, and one is failing. One of the big differences between American schools and Swedish schools is the afterschool activiities that we offer. “We do not play sports or take PE in Sweden. We may have a play once in a while though.” She said that their summer vacation begins on June 1 and they retum to school on August 19. When the school day is over for Gun-Britt, she may get home anywhere from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. She said that it depends on which and how many classes she takes that day. Then it’s back to the bus and boat rides again for the 50 minute trip back home. Eleventh grade English includes transcenden- talism.

We're getting our order forms for our class rings. Really? That’s great. But then we have to wait until next year before they’re delivered. Maybe it'll go by fast. | hope so! Should | get white gold or yellow gold? A cut top or a smooth top? These questions are sometimes hard to answer for the sophomores Once the class rings are delivered, tradition takes over. Each junior goes from person to person getting his ring turned one less time than the year he graduates. That number is saved for the special night of the ring dance. Pink and metallic silver, the colors of the class of 1987, were displayed in the forms of balloons, streamers, glitter, and flowers at the annual junior ring dance. Junior class treasurer Chris Duncan described the night of October 19, as being “a night to remember and one of the best memories the class of 87 has ever shared.” The ring dance began at 8:30 p.m., and as each junior and his date arrived, they could feel excitement in the air. Each table was elegantly Juniors anxiously await the tuming of their rings at their Ring Dance. While dancing with their dates, Tanya Culbreth, Greg Bottoms, and Lynn Grant enjoy the music at the Ring Dance. 136 Juniors decorated with flowers and candles to add a special touch to that very special Saturday night. Everyone was given a pink cama- tion, chosen by the junior class as their flower. Then each couple was presented with a scroll containing the names of the class officers, colors, song, and motto. As D.J. Lloyd Brown played the music, each junior waited in anticipation for his or her ring to be turned for the eighty-seventh time. Jeep Wedding announced the names of each couple during the ceremony, which began at 10:00 p.m. President of the junior class, Dee Dee Ward, and her escort, Bill Ward, went first, followed by the three remaining class officers, their dates, and the rest of the junior class. The ceremony concluded at 10:45 p.m. Even though the big event was coming to an end, the juniors would not soon forget this occasion. The junior ring dance will remain in the hearts of the class of 1987 for years to come. Watching closely, Amber Freeman waits patiently in line to receive her class ring.

Your stomach chums, your knees begin to shake, your eyes water. Sometimes it feels as if you are staring info an ocean of relentless sharks. A few words are uttered that make absolutely no sense, in a voice that cracks two octaves higher than your normal voice. The pressure is getting intense — so is the glare from your teacher. This grade, you remind yourself, could mean life or death for report cards. At the moment, if seems more like death! You've practiced this soeech seven times-why can’t you remember any of it? It helps if you look at a clock or the wall — anything but actual people. By some miracle from heaven, you pull yourself together. You manage to get through it by chuckling as you imag- ine Mr. Mark VanDervor, a sopho- more English teacher, in pink and green polka-dotted boxer shorts. When you finish, you reftum to your seat and continue with a normal life ... at least until junior English teacher, Mrs. Dott VanDervort proclaims, “Class, your next book report will be an oral presentation.” Gasp!

Counting down to a victory Third place when freshmen, second when sophomores, and as juniors, the class of 1987 won the Homecoming float competition. Dee Dee Ward said, “We knew we could win so we set out to do just that.” She said that several factors enabled them to win. One was that they be- gan working on their float early, and another that they had a lot of support throughout the weeks of work. During the week of September 16, the juniors quest for victory began. Titles and designs were planned. Af- ter a whole week of adjustments to their different designs, “No One Does It Like the Bull” was chosen. The Chosen. next week about 15 juniors began to work on their float at Chris Duncan’s house. By the end of the week, the Titles and designs were planned. After a whole week of adjustments to their different designs, “No One Does It Like The Bull” was bull was almost complete, except for a few defaiis. September 30 was D-day in the seniors’, sophomores’, and fresh- men’s minds. The juniors arrived and they were almost fininshed. They had only the finishing touches to add. Of course, they still had fo make the high school and the grass that covered the float, but the bull, the main part of their float, was complete. When it was announced that the juniors had won the float com- petiton, all wno had worked on it were thrilled. They credit their success to teamwork, conscientious plan- ning, and determination.

They have a difficult time with identity crises. They are not old enough to be upperclass- men yet they are not the bottom of the barrel anymore. Along with not being at the bottom anymore comes a lot of responsibility. Tuming sixteen years old is a big deal. Being able to receive your driver's license is a major step in anyone’ life. Students expect a lot out of the sophomores when it comes fo maturity. The upperclassmen begin to recognize the sophomores and give them responsibility in the social scene. Freshmen and people who can not drive begin to ask the sopho- mores for rides to different places. They are able to hold offices in the SCA, also. Dating is another big privilege. Guys are finally able to drive their dates to the movies without mom or dad having to take them. To ask for the family car and pray that dad will let you have the keys is all a part of life. This is an overwhelming responsi- bility. Teachers also believe in giving the sophomores responsibilities. Having to read extreme ly thick novels is not the most exciting thing to do. Rebecca, Jane Eyre, and Wuther- ing Heights are all at least three inch- es thick. Plus reading about the Romans is not as fun as it sounds. They lived in a different place a long time ago, why do we have to read about them? Yes, being a sophomore is difficult but it is like seeing the light at the end of a tunnel or crawling out of a deep barrel. Next year they will be able to look back at this year and smile, but most of all, they will be grateful this year is behind them!

Sophomores who have older brothers and sisters in school have a mixture of feelings. “| love the rides,” replied Laura Ward. “It’s nice to be taken to school and not have to ride the bus.” Most people really don’t mind hav- ing siblings in the high school with them. Stacey Overbay said that she doesn’t mind her brother, Brian, being at school with her at alll. Along with liking the rides, they also like to have an older brother or sister to stick up for them, and to talk to them about things, they just can’t tell their friends. On the other hand, there are students who hate having their siblings at school. Competition is given as the main reason. Another reason is the tattling that goes on between brothers and sisters. Whether or not these students minded their siblings at school, they do all admit sharing the common bond of love. With jewelry as a new fad, Tracey Kennedy pins a gold broach on her friend Leigh Bar.

What a relief. “Honey! Honey! Get up for school! It’s 6:45. You overslept.” Honestly, now does this sound familiar?

A New Ente fe'F aN, | “Get out of the way!” “Can‘t you walk?!” “You're such a freshman!” These are words that most freshmen hear their first year in high school. “Being a freshman to me is a start of a new life in a new school, meeting new students and making new friends, having fun in class and just being myself,” said Steve White. On the other hand, Ann Frost thinks being a freshman is, “like World War Il.” “Being a freshman can be a very diffi- cult thing at times. The change in the school environment from immature middle schoolers, to mature and more sophisticated kids in high school is also difficult, but a leaming experience. | also like the freedom | get in being in high school,” remarked John Check. Christy Cissa feels, “Being a freshman has its ups and downs. An up is seeing all the babes and a down is people saying ‘Oh gosh, a freshman!’ That’s embar- rassing.” ‘It’s not as bad as | thought it would be. If you act mature, people don’t think of you as a freshman,” Gina Puryear said with a grin. Most of the freshman’s opinions range from one extreme to the other. “Being a freshman isn’t so bad but you still get banged around in the hall, but it’s a lot of fun!” replied Michele Olson as she rubbed her arm and moved away from the wall. Danielle Trombetta has a slightly different point of view, “Being a freshman isn’t as bad as | thought it would be. | have gotten to meet a lot of really nice people, but!’d rather be a senior — or at Tabb.” Freshmen aren‘t as bad as some upperclassmen think, although high school doesn’t seem to be alll it’s wrapped up to be for the freshmen in their first year of high school.

Not being able to drive and get every- where you want to go concerns many of them. Yet to many freshmen who know that tum- ing 16 is only a year orso away, it really doesn’t present Cn eo a problem. Robert Tinsley said, “| either ride my bike or get one of my older friends to take me where | need to go.” John Check and David Britt made sure to make friends who could drive. Troy Miller has older friends who drive him around also, but he prefers fo “run for good health,” or he tries mental telep- athy, even though it never works. A few privileged freshmen like Danielle Trombetta, Julie Laske, Robert Henesey, and Terry lesman have boyfriends or girlfriends to take them from place to place. could drive.

Lectures in the Forum seem to be very interest- ing, eee sole to Todd Lawson, who smiles as he listens with great interest to Mr. Mike Mousetis.

Even freshmen have practices, watch soap operas, and have other ex- tracurricular activities. Steve White said, “All | ever do is go to wrestling practice.” While Andrea Miller does “nothing at all,” Stephany Sczupel has a different idea of “fun” after school, “| watch my soap operas or | babysit the brats across the street.” Some freshmen have their whole afternoon scheduled out, like Karen Parr; “| go to cheerleading practice, watch my soap, do some more homework, then go to bed.” Earl Woodruff either has band practice, play practice, or forensics practice — practice, practice, practice. Sometimes he stays after school to receive help from _ his teachers or he might just hang out with his friends. Some other things to do are to “talk on the phone a lot,” like Cameron Abbott, or wait around in the school for your brother to take you home, like Vinnie Gallerani. And then there are some freshmen who sleep, like Troy Miller. All in all, there are a great number of activities to do after school. the class of 89 seems to do if all, just like everyone else. Showing his awesome basketball skill, Jeff Rutledge dribbles the ball during Mr. John Kain’s 4th hour gym class.

Many of them act like they know what they are doing, we underclassmen have to struggle just fo get in the groove of things, while to catch life seems to be the normal way for the upperclass- men. To hang in there is what most of us are trying to do to survive. Being a freshman is sometimes rough. It seems like a lifetime before our day of glory in1989 when we walk across the stage and receive our diplomas. So far most classes seem harder, reading everything from Romeo and Juliet to West Side Story, while Great Expectations is what all of us are dreaming about. Just who are Zues and Medusa who liv e on Mt. Olympus? Why do we rack our brains trying to leam everything when we probably will not use the information again in our lives? Between classes, Daniel Watson, Derek Watson, and Derek Moore tell Julie Bartam a funny story.

Playing the game isn’t all you do. There is practice, and after practice the upperclassmen make you go through initiation. They give you things such as swirlies and wedgies; they throw you into cold showers, or they pick you up and put you in a large mud puddle. They are so nice that they even make sure that you are covered from head to toe with wet dirt. Being a freshman isn’t all that bad, at least we have something to look forward to ... being an upperclass- man.

Freshmen 159 When all the ninth grade students begin their freshman year, it comes as a shock to them fo discover all the things besides classes that go on here at school. There are many afterschool activities to participate in. Sports, clubs, and other organizations are offered to the school newcomers. However, they soon realize how busy and hectic any extracurricular activity can be and the effect it can have on grades. Though these aftemoon gatherings may cause one to have a heavy schedule, they do have benefits. Joining a club or playing a sport is a great way for freshmen to meet new people. Most likely, these people will have similar hobbies and interests if they are part of the same organiza- tions.

Little did he know, only thirty-six years later, he would be- come the principal of the same school. “The buck stops here,” jested Mr. Olen Evans after being hired as principal. The only change that took place by hiring Mr. Olen Evans as principal was that students were given as much freedom as possible. Other changes were very minute. Enthu- siasm was really stressed. Referring to it, Mr. Olen Evans commented early in the year, “I feel it is already on the rise, and | hope more students will get in- volved in some of the activities.” Mr. Olen Evans had stressed activities be- cause involvement in school doesn't mean just sports. There were many Principal community activities that revolved around or took place in school. After school, students sometimes sat in the commons area for a social hour. Mr. Olen Evans wanted to see students enjoy school. “If we take twelve years of someone’s time, we want them to leave saying something positive about us,” he said. Even though Mr. Evans stressed the importance of activities and fun, he said the main purpose of school was to provide as good an education as possible. He thought that it is very im- portant to be a satisfied student, enthusiastic about school. Mr. Evans commented, “| hope each senior learns as many new things as | expect to this year,” when asked about his first year as principal. Mr. Olen Evans has been an im- portant part of PHS for a long time. As a PE teacher, he was head baseball and JV basketball coach as well as being assistant coach for the football and basketball teams. Mr. Olen Evans was hired in 1968 as the assistant principal but he con- tinued with many of his coaching duties, “as long as | could,” he said. In his years in the school, he has seen “PHS at very low and very high points,” He feels that “our faculty and administration has been key factors with their decisions on the issues surrounding the school that at the time caused controversy and moral status and policy changes.” Overall, Mr. Olen Evans saw a “pright outlook” for the years to come. In the gym, Mrs. Dott VanDervort and Tyna Sloate discuss the names of the clubs whose pictures had not been taken. GPE REL geen Excited about his promotion to prin- cipal, Mr. Olen Evans gladly smiled for the camera while seated in his office.

Many other teachers once roamed the school as students. Their high school was located on Poquoson Avenue, where the middle school is now. Back in those days they had many school activities such as there are today. Sports played a major role in student life. Various dances such as Sadie Hawkins, Homecoming, and the Prom took place. There were pageanis, plays, and clubs. Just as many activities went on then as there are now. Many of the teachers in the school today once attended this school and participated in the various activities. ke a break from his busy schedule, Mr. Vv Olen Evans relaxes in the main office. At the SCA Christmas party, Mrs. Karen Burr and Mrs. Lisa Quinlan discuss their Christmas plans while their children wait impatiently. 164 Faculty of PHS It's hard to believe that Mr. Olen Evans was once head captain of the football team in 1949 and 1950. Mrs. Jeanine Sibbers won the first Miss Poquoson Pageant in 1960. Mrs. Debbe Goddin cheered on the varsity team from 1966 to 1968 when she was in school. Miss Becky Quinn, through consistent studying, became valedictorian of her class in 1973. Mrs. Francis Potts played basketball and averaged 20-25 points a game. Other teachers at school also attended as students and pariici- pated in sports, clubs, and other activities. It might be interesting to see which present students will be teachers here in the future years to come. As Mrs. Joan Wynn looks off into the lobby, Vis Betty Duty plans a menu for their day off.

Confu- sion was in all classes. Why? The new computerized report cards had come out. Mr. David Hinds relieved the students’ and the teachers’ minds when he came on the intercom and explained the basics about them. He informed the students that the grades were done and averaged by class and subject. He said that the teachers could select two out of 110 comments for each student. The students found the new system easy fo understand. pple Grades Putting Report Cards All ‘Together “For the first time, the parents and the students could see how they were doing in all of their classes and they could see how they were doing compared to the other students on one sheet of paper,” said Mr. Hinds. Many of the teachers liked them also. Mrs. Helen Small liked them be- cause it was all on one card and by using the computer, it made it easier for the teachers. They didn’t have to write out long comments plus the overall time spent doing the report cards was cut by hours. Mrs. Brenda Winstead liked the fact that they were all on one sheet. She was used to getting them that way when she was in school. Mrs. Mary Beth Leavitt said that they were O.K. but she did not like that she could not show the number grade. Many teachers agreed that one disadvantage was having to tum the grades in sooner. The new report card system was much more advanced than the old system but if still was not perfect. Out of the 110 comments available to the teachers, many repeated them- selves in different words so the list was going to be revised. With these report cards, there was no hassle with six different papers to lose. These were not able to be changed. The students did not bother their teachers to get the report card as soon as they got to class. The new system of grading has worked out very well.

Most of their time in between classes was spent trying to successfully get to their next class before the bell. Since there was a shortage of classrooms, these teachers went back and forth transporting their un- marked papers, ungraded tests, and books on drab metal rolling carts. The carts were very small in size, and as. usual teachers had too many papers. This created a problem steering and pushing the carts through the crowded halls. Many times, a line of students pushing and shoving and of course, yelling behind the irritating obstacles could be seen. Fortunately, not many teachers fell under this category. The few who did, however, would rather have been without the inconvenience. Mrs. Denise Junghans said, “It is awful and | wish sometimes the carts had homs on them, not to mention a few traffic lights so people would move out of my way.” It was not surprising to hear the comment from Mrs. Denise Junghans, many of the other teachers felt the same way. Mrs. Heda Quillan said, “They are heavy and dangerous. I’m always afraid I’m going to run over somebody's foot.” Mr. Dave Nelson — Govt., Athletic Director, Boys Girls Basketball, Varsity Club Mr. Mo Odenwalder — Math, Biology, Asst.

Faculty 169 First Time Out What do sweaty palms, weak knees, butterflies, and anticipation have to do with your high school teachers? Yes, your teachers went through these nervous symptom s when they asked their future spouses to go out on a date for the first time. Most teachers met their future spouse at college. Mr. Mark and Mrs. Dott VanDervort met at their first away basketball game where she cheered and he played. They were both freshmen and she had his name in one of the cheers. Mr. Tom and Mrs. Bonnie Fay met at William and Mary College. Mr. Fay best remembers the basketball game that they went to see. William and Mary won the game over Virginia Tech, which was a rarity. Mrs. Fay remembers going out to eat at the Aberdeen Barn. After taking his wife home after their first date, Mr. Bob’ Gemmill felt 2 like he really didn’t like her so he didn’t ask her out again for a year. Mrs. Mary Beth Leavitt met her husband when he went out with a younger friend of hers. She and her date doubled with them so she could make sure he treated her friend properly. Mr. Scott and Mrs. Gail laRue dis- agree about kissing on the first date. He persistently tried to kiss her and she made sure he did not succeed. Mrs. Christine Lepi did not like her husband when she first started dating him, burt still continued to date him. Mrs. Peggy Garner had known her spouse since childhood. Later in high school, they double-dated with friends. So you might want to remember those important first dates because you never know who may become your mate.

A car whizzed by. As he stared at the fading taillights, he thought it was a rather nice-looking German-made car. What year it was or what type of engine it had he knew not, for he knew nothing of the car. Maybe it wasn’t even German. Vaguely he wondered what it would be like to be informed about the things people bought. He realized as he looked down at his neon yellow sweatshirt and faded bluejeans that he didn’t even know whether his pants were Levi's or Calvin Klein and that, for all he knew, his shirt could be from a garage sale. He’d been looking for labels on his clothes for years but the only thing he’d found were the price tags. As he looked up, he realized he was standing in front of the restaurant, its plain white facade star- ing back at him. He entered the building and sat down at a booth near the window. He ordered “the usual” and sat there staring at the drab interior of the restaurant. He wondered idly if the proprietors had ever thought of giving the ol’ place a name. When he thought about it, it was pretty boring. The place was like his own house, sorta ordinary looking. It really had no appeal and besides, no one really knew about it un- less they’d been there before. But what do you expect, every- thing was like that in that town. They had to accept what they had because they had never heard about anything better. sometimes we complain about publicity and the excess of advertisements on TV, but what would this world be without commercial influence? The advertisers have an obligation to tell the public what their product is all about. Without the help of our sponsors, the memories of this year would not be fully captured. The staff would like to thank those who sponsored this yearbook and who have continually supported the students of this school.

Believe it or not, the long arm of fashion even reaches Poquoson, and everyone is sporting the latest in style. Clothes for guys and girls are pretty much the same. For the guys, the most dominant force behind fashion is the “Vice” look. Powered by the hot television show “Miami Vice” guys everywhere have the casual, laid back look. Italian sportswear, including lightweight jackets and pants, shoes without socks, and a pastel cotton shirt are popularized by the show’s flashy star, Don Johnson. Women’s fashion comes right out of the past with brooches and skirts that tend to be a bit longer and tighter. Also revived is the ever-popular stiruped pants wom years ago. Shakerknit sweaters hold their ground for the third year, and girls have at least five variations and colors by Forenza. Flower prints are also prevalent and are displayed on both shirts and jeans. Paisley, that longtime sixties favorite, is a major item and everyone has at least one paisley creation. Fashion is an ever-changing market and no one knows what tomorow will bring. Who would have ever thought a few years back that people today would be wearing two watches. The world of fashion will always be around and people, both young and old, will try to keep up. nS CS ANNA’S ITALIAN RESTAURANT PIZZA 3 TIDEMILL SHOPPING CENTER 766-1068 7 POQUOSON — 868-8006 WEDNESDAY SPECIAL: $1.00 OFF ON LARGE PIZZAS 50° OFF ON SMALL PIZZAS TUESDAY-THURSDAY 11-11 FRIDAY-SATURDAY 11-12 SUNDAY 3-11 CALL-IN ORDERS READY IN 10 MINUTES —_— 180 Ads Metro Market 426 Wythe Creek Road Poquoson, Virginia 868-0904 Groceries Diesel Fuel Gasoline Pure Clear Kerosene Oil Products Propane Gas FOR MEN COMPLETE MEN’S CLOTHIERS PHONE 868-8017 456-B WYTHE CREEK ROAD Poquoson Shopping Center POQUOSON, VA. 23662 G.

Some people have to go through this game after game. Frequently, some seats at basketball games stay warm all season. The people who fill those seats are often called “bench warmers.” Contrary to popular belief, it is not easy being abench wammer. The crowd often forgets, or not aware that the people sitting on the pine work just as hard as those out on the court. At practice, bench warmers put forth great effort needed to boost the starting team for a win. These members of the team also have to strive to improve themselves, and often go unnoticed for their achievements. Bench warmers work hard all season and sometimes it pays off. Because of their dedication, they often find themselves not sitting onthe bench but out playing on the court. Many keep their spirits up even if the team loses. They never let if bother them, they keep on working hard. “All of a sudden, | have a burst of energy,” is how Elizabeth Tinsley feels when being put into the game. She also feels good when she gets out on the court. “| feel pepped up!” said Jill Deaton. The bench warmers can handle this, but could anyone else? Their hard work pays off and through the good times and the bad, they stick with their team. Congratulations Best Wishes to the Class of 85 DONAEDB TAYLORS IR:.

However, many students would be forced to go hungry or suffer the nightmare of a school lunch if it were not for those little bars of relief. If you happen to be one of these school-lunch escapees, you have D.R. Ankeney Fundraising, Inc. to thank. The real reason, however, that all fhe candy is sold is to raise money. Many organi- zations, such as FHA, ICT, and SCA have Ankeney Fundraising to thank for successful fundraising drives. D.R. Ankeney Fundraising, Inc. is owned and operated by President David R. Ankeney, Sr. Mr. Ankeney has had the business for six years and enjoys his work very much. The business is located in Poquoson and is run in a “friendly, local style.” Poquosonites receive special treatment from Mr. Ankeney’s busi- ness in that they receive a five percent discount on all sales and fundraising drives. Out of all his Virginia territories, Mr. Ankeney only offers this discount to Poquoson as a service to the community as an aid for greater profit. Such items as uniforms, class money and activity funds all stem from fundraising. D.R. Ankeney Fundraising supplies such products as Reese cups, Nestle-Beich candybars, and products of M M- Mars as profitable fundraisers. They all help organizations achieve their fundraising goals.

Well, if you were wondering why, it is because many students from school work at Farm Fresh. Mr. Howard, the manager of Farm Fresh, said he thought the students enjoyed working there. It is a convenient place to work because it is so centrally located. He looks mainly for a good person- ality and someone who will work well with people. He does not necessarily look for work experience in students. Mr. Howard said about 75% of the applications get tumed down. About half of the staff working at Farm Fresh are high school students. There are even students under the age of sixteen working with working permits. Also, there are four or five DECA students and six VICA students working at Farm Fresh. Mr. Howard is very flexible with the students in picking their hours that are most convenient for them. Mr. Howard understands that school work and extracurricular activities can interfere. He enjoys having students working at Farm Fresh and also appreciates the support that Farm Fresh has gotten from the community. W.T.

Have you ever heard of the Poquoson Sports Boosters? The Poquoson Sports Boosters is a group of people from the community who support the different athletic activities in the school. They support the athletic teams in many ways. To begin with, their main objective is to raise money for the athletic program. The different ways that they raise money is through the selling of items at the different athletic events, charitable contributions, and other activities of this nature. The money from these activities goes to buy the different necessi- ties needed by each athletic team. What the boosters believe to be the most important necessity at that time, no matter which team, will receive the amount of money they need first. There are some problems that the Sports Boosters have come across, such as not getting enough support from the community or the lack of funds to do what they would like to do for the athletic program. Despite these problems, the Poquoson Sports Boosters, by raising funds and supporting the athletic teams through failure and victory, have greatly helped the community and school. 190 Ads Best wishes to the students of Poquoson High School from Chief Jack White and the men and women of the Poquoson Police Department Compliments Otne Mrs. Gloria Driver — Mrs. Judy Topping POQUOSON HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY Sandwiches and french fries, a favorite lunch, seemed to appeal to Neal Insley and Luis Cuesta.

As we walk through the doors for the last time, we look back upon the memories of the year and realize that we have grown and made something of ourselves to be proud of. The pride has remained consistent from the first day of school when we assembled in the forum to sing the alma mater to the awards ceremony where we laughed at Mr. Gemmill and cried for the touching R. Fletcher Grey award. We have held our heads high and accepted the good with the bad. The boredom was necessary before the fun could begin. Without the long lectures and classes, the dances and other great moments could not have been possible. Yes, we have made it and through it all we have never failed to come out on top. 200 Index Closing As the last bell rings, students rush to the awaiting buses and cars.
